The seventeen-day festival sees the participation of 63 writers skilled in writing Sino-Nom (Chinese characters and Vietnamese ideographic script derived from Han Chinese) calligraphy.

Calligraphy is a symbol of the nation's cultural beauty and continues to attract visitors every year.

This year’s event comprises many programs such as calligraphy demonstrations, first-hand experience of Vietnam’s traditional crafts, folk games, and cultural activities.
